Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 1, 2/5oz Gold fishing spoon #15233

Stamped into the polished gold surface is the iconic 'MADE IN FRANCE' mark, reflecting the historical manufacturing standards of the Mepps factory. This Timber Doodle 1, designated by product code 15233, measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighs 2/5 oz (12 g). The underside of the spoon shows clear 'MEPPS' and '29' markings, confirming its model specificity. Designed for navigating dense vegetation, the hardware features a single, upturned hook that carries a yellow, ribbed curly tail trailer in a weedless configuration. The gold finish remains bright and clean with minimal signs of handling, resulting in a condition rating of 4/5. A small, reinforced line-tie eyelet at the tip is engineered for secure attachment when casting into heavy structure.
